If you've read the previous post you'll see my my guiding word this year is SHINE. Just a few baby steps within the year, it's already proven to be a beacon.

Today was a bit rough in places. I felt the urge to move out some excess, intense, heavy, dense energies and so I power walked. It was blistering cold air but something strong was drawing me out of my cozy little cottage and into nature. When I trudged up the big hill, questioning my decision and praying my eyeballs weren't going to turn into frozen marbles, I realized what I'd been missing today *the sunSHINE*. It was warm, golden, and delicious. I let the skin of my face drink it in. I asked my body to absorb it through the layers of clothes that I'd piled on. I opened my heart wide and let the rays melt what ailed me. 

I returned home with inspiration and ideas galore. And before they disappeared into the ethers of my creative waves and I wanted to invite your input. One of my gifts is teaching. I love to share and inspire others. I feel this is often when my light shines most brilliantly. I would love to know what you are into and what you might enjoy learning through me?

 I have selected not to teach at MPCC this semester. I feel very called to teach though, to cheer, to encourage to connect, to bring insight and awareness, to offer experiences that help you uncover, discover and recover your amazing talents and gifts.

I'm in the creation and design process of considering what I can offer and really, the best way to do this is to ask for your ideas. What are you "into" right now? What do you feel called to learn and excited to explore? I am looking into on-line as well as in-person experiences for those of you who would like me as a "tour guide." I don't necessarily consider myself an expert because I  love to explore, right along beside my students. Right now smaller groups and individuals feel appropriate. I have space so I can host a night class or a weekend PLAYshop {because, really, who wants to work?!?} I'm also willing to travel, so for my sweet, far and away friends....let's chat! 

Please share your suggestions in the comment section or on Facebook. If you are new to the blog and would like to follow along, the Facebook link is https://www.facebook.com/robynjohnston. I am very interested in hearing your responses. This will serve as a worthy guide and a channel for my creative energies (that seem to be in overdrive right about now.)

  1. Oh,girl! I have all sorts of things I would love to learn with you! I think it would be fun to learn how to make a dream catcher. That paint/mixture piece looked like it was adventurous too. I have wanted to try to mosaic. It looks easy enough. I lack in courage when it comes breaking dishes with a hammer. Maybe the real fear is I may like it too much, and we will be eating off paper plates! LOL! Keep me posted.

  3. I can totally help with the paint and mixed media! It is sooooo fun! I've made one dream catcher, under the guidance of http://rachaelrice.com She makes some phenomenal creations! And breaking dishes would be hard for me to but together, I bet we could bust more than a few dishes! I'll be doing some planning and definitely will keep you posted!

  4. Please Please Please come to Seattle! I would love to get a group of girls together, drink some wine, and make some swoot art. Would it be worth exploring how to intermingle Nine Star Ki with mixed media art? Mixed media may be my new obsession, I just want to plaster the walls of my craft room with colorful craziness!

  5. Totally! That is definitely on my radar and I have a super FUN way to integrate Nine Star Ki. You and I are on the same wave length baby. We need to have a Skype session and brainstorm dates. I've already got ideas for a weekend workshop and whatdayaknow, wine is on the menu!!! I'm in lourve with mixed media too. I'll send you a pic of a piece that was supposed to be a surprise for you. Now it will be a surprise for both of us because 1. I don't know when I will get it finished and 2. since you mentioned colorful, I think you'll dig it! Thought of you the other day when Pryce and I were playing in the Art Room and so the process is underway!
